MAJOR Brand

The journey to crafting a perfect award jacket started many years ago for our brand. First we had to find the right manufacturer. We wanted the best quality wool, the best quality leather, and the craftsmanship had to be second to none. We also wanted to make sure that our first jacket was made right here in the USA, and not anywhere else. Once we found that right factory, we had to go to work to create a timeless piece that all of us would be proud to rock as we celebrate 5 years in business. Through many changes, we were satisfied with the quality and style of the patches and embroidery that we will use for this jacket, much like the creative process we go through to design a fitted. So after over a year of development, we are proud to present for the first time ever, MAJOR Victory Jacket by Dehen1920, and the lookbook, shot by the incomparable @George88

We started off with the top quality black 100% melton wool outer shell, sourced from Pendleton by Dehen. We added 100% virgin wool trim, featuring white lines on the cuffs and waist, and true black on the neck collar for better wear. The sleeves are made of 100% genuine cowhide, and the entire jacket is lined with satin for extra warmth, and ease of wear. The end of left sleeve features the classic Bullets style MAJOR logo in white embroidery… Which you will start seeing more of.

Perhaps the most important detail on the Victory Jacket is the Trinity Chenille patch on the left chest. Using the old school tackle twill method, this is a triple layer chain stitched chenille block letter. You will not find quality like this in an imported item.

But wearing is believing, and on the right sleeve, we included the MAJOR Crest patch, inspired by George Washington’s family crest. The detail on this patch is simply unbelievable, and the way it’s sewn onto the sleeve? You will think that it’s a part of the sleeve!

Due to our temporary closure of the showroom, the jacket will not be sold at the store. We will announce the availability and release information via twitter.

Our latest project involves something that’s deeper than design, style,
art, or commerce. When Jeff Staple from the Staple Design approached us
about Truth1585 campaign, we were excited to be involved in such an
educational project that can actually help people.

adidas Originals presents the Back To The Campus edition of the iconic Campus 80s in Collegiate Navy/Tech Grey, in honor of our hometown Georgetown University. This will be available exclusively at MAJOR, starting September 2nd, 2011, while supplies last.

Earlier this year, adidas selected 3 prominent partners (MAJOR, ShoeBizSF, and Nicekicks) to help them launch Back To The Campus trio of Campus 80s done in classic hairy suede, with distinctive material stories on 3 stripes to represent the college community that surrounds our respective retail locations. As we sat down with the heads at adidas campus in Portland, we decided on classic blue & gray colors of Georgetown University, utilizing rich collegiate navy suede upper and technical fleece material in grey for the 3 stripes. The result is a timeless classic shoe in a timeless classic combination, a basic necessity in any man’s wardrobe, whether you are a fan/alumni/student of Georgetown or not.

The shoe launches on September 2nd, exclusively at MAJOR in Georgetown and on our online store. And to celebrate the launch, we will have a gift with purchase MAJOR x adidas all originals t-shirt, for every pair sold in the Georgetown Showroom. In addition, there is a digital scavenger hunt contest, involving our Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/NeverMinor) and FourSquare, where we will award shoes and tees as prizes. Click on the flyer below to go directly to the contest page.

And last but not least, this would not be MAJOR, if we didn’t take care of your style head to toe. Releasing with the adidas Campus 80s Georgetown on September 2nd, MAJOR presents our exclusive Georgetown MAJOR 59Fifty fitted by New Era.

Taking our traditional Washington Major design as the base, we designed this cap as a tribute to the old school Hoyas caps. GEORGETOWN proudly takes the place of Washington on the front, while the cap is made to match the shoes perfectly.

Both available on Friday, September 2nd, 2011 at MAJOR Showroom in Georgetown, and our online store. This is a MAJOR exclusive release!

Releasing Saturday, August 20th is our tribute to one of our favorite sneakers of all time (Top 5) in Jordan 5 Retro Black/Silver.

The latest incarnation of the Trinity Insider fitted for MAJOR is inspired by Jordan 5 in Black/Metallic Silver. In celebration of the retro launch of the beloved Jordan 5, we have created the MAJOR 5 On It 59Fifty, featuring Trinity Insider w/ metallic silver and black splatter design, perfectly embroidered on black wool crown & visor. The rear embroidery of 3 Stars also feature splatter design on the inside.

The ultimate classic is back in a brand new Electric Blue colorway. MAJOR Trinity 59Fifty Fitted classic gets the “South Beach” makeover, with electric blue wool blend fabric crown and visor, featuring black/black Trinity embroidery in the front. The classic black/black 3 stars adorn the back of the fitted, while we keep in funky with the kelly green undervisor.

MAJOR’s tribute to the illest basketball player ever, and one of our favorite sneakers of all time continues with the True Blue rendition of MAJOR Cement Insider 59Fifty.

Using the indigo blue fabric as the foundation, this True Blue fitted is equally at home matched up with a classic Jordan sneaker, as with a classic chambray button down or a lightweight heathered terry fleece. The unmistakable cement (or elephant) print graces the inside of MAJOR’s Trinity on the front, while the same pattern graces the inside of 3 stars on the back. Kelly green undervisor is also a must.
